FIGURE 1 - 1965 Lincoln Continental Convertible Top and Deck

Electrical and Hydraulic Components

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The convertible features automatic lowering of the top ossembly Into the lug
gage compartment. The deck lid completely conceals the top when it is in the
retracted position. The operation of the top is accomplished by electrically
powered mechanical and hydraulic linkage.
The top operation is divided into two cycles; the retract cycle in which the
top unlocks and lowers into the luggage compartment, and the erect cycle in
which the top is raised from the stacked position and locks to the windshield
header.
The car should be stopped and all side windows lowered before the top Is
operated. The ignition switch must be in the ACC or ON position, preferably
with the engine running. The transmission selector lever must be in either the
N or P position; then, actuate the top control switch.
To retract (lower the top), push the top control switch down and hold it until
the deck lid has fully opened. Then, make sure that nothing is stored in the
luggage compartment that could interfere with the top as it is lowered. Hold the
top control switch down again until the top retract cycle is completed.
 To erect (raise the top), push the top control switch up to open the deck lid
and raise the top assembly into position. After the deck lid closes and locks,
release the top control switch.

The top can be stopped at any time in either cycle (retract or erect) simply by
releasing the top control switch. When the top control switch is released, the
solenoid valves, which are connected to the hydraulic pressure lines, close and
prevent further movement of the top assembly until the circuit is reactivated by
moving the top control switch. Do not attempt to manually force the top or deck
lid either up or down.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The electrical system includes four reversible motors; the top lock motor that
drives two hook locking rods that lock and unlock the top to the windshield
header; the upper back panel motor that drives the upper back panel by a small
transmission; the deck lock motor that locks and unlocks the deck lid through
flexible drive cables; and the top-deck motor that drives a hydraulic pump which
supplies hydraulic fluid pressure to open and close the deck lid and the top
assembly.

There are 11 relays; the top control neutral relay is used as a safety device
in the control circuit. This relay is located on the mounting plate located behind
the right front fender splash shield. The control circuit cannot be energized
until the top control neutral relay contacts are closed. The circuit is complete
only when the neutral switch is closed. The circuit is closed when the trans
mission: selector lever is in P or N and the ignition switch is in the ACC or ON
positiorf. The control circuit to the top control switch is identical for both the
top retract cycle and top erect cycle. Current flows from the ignition switch,
through the top control neutral relay, the transmission neutral switch, and the
starter motor relay to ground. The top control neutral relay is energized, closing
the relay contacts, and current flows from the 10-ampere circuit breaker through
the top control switch.

The remaining 10 relays are used to energize the motors and the three solen
oids.

The electrical system is protected by five circuit breakers; a 50-ampere circuit

breaker in the power circuit, a 10-ampere circuit breaker in the top control cir
cuit and three individual 15-ampere circuit breakers, one for each motor feed
circuit. The 50-ampere circuit breaker and the 10-ampere circuit breaker are
located on the wiring and circuit breaker assembly which is located on the right
cowl side panel behind the kick pad.
 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

The deck lid and convertible top ossembly ore eoch operoted by two hydrouiic
cylinders, receiving pressure from one electricolly powered reversible motor
ond pump. The hydrouiic fluid pressure is controlled by three electricolly octi-
voted solenoid volves, two for the top ossembly, ond one for the deck lid.

FIGURE 2 - Deck Open & Top Up Cycle

DECK OPEN CYCLE:
The deck open relay energizes the top and deck motor and pump assembly and
simultaneously opens the deck solenoid. Hydraulic fluid under pressure supplied
by the clockwise rotation of the pump is applied to the piston in the deck lid
lift cylinders through the hoses connected to the lower fittings of the cylinders.
As the fluid pressure forces the piston to travel upward in the cylinder it dis
places the fluid on the other side of the pistons and returns this fluid through
the hoses connected to the upper fittings of the cylinders bock to the pump and
reservoir.

The cycle can be stopped at any time by release of the control switch opening
the circuit to the deck open relay. The open circuit stops the pump motor and
automatically closes the deck solenoid.

TOP UP CYCLE: (ERECT)

The top up relay energizes the top and deck motor and pump assembly and
simultaneously opens the top solenoids. Hydraulic fluid under pressure supplied
by the clockwise rotation of the pump is directed through the upper top solenoid
and is applied to the piston in the top lift cylinders through the hoses connected
to the upper fittings of the cylinders. As the fluid pressure forces the piston to
travel downward in the cylinder it displaces the fluid on the other side of the
piston and returns this fluid through the hoses connected to the lower fittings
of the cylinders, back through the lower top solenoid to the pump and reservoir.

The cycle can be stopped at any time by release of the control switch opening
the circuit to the top up relay. The open circuit stops the pump motor and auto
matically closes the top solenoids.

DECK CLOSE CYCLE:
The deck close relay energizes the top and deck motor and pump assembly and
simultaneously opens the deck solenoid. Hydraulic fluid under pressure supplied
by counterclockwise rotation of the pump is applied to the piston in the deck
lift cylinders through the hoses connected to the upper fittings of the cylinders.
As the fluid pressure forces the piston to travel downward in the cylinder it dis
places the fluid on the other side of the piston and returns this fluid through the
hoses connected to the lower fittings of the cylinders back through the deck
solenoid to the pump and reservoir.
The cycle con be stopped at any time by release of the control switch opening
the circuit to the deck close relay. The open circuit stops the pump motor and
automotically closes the deck solenoid.

TOP DOWN CYCLE: (RETRACT)

The top down relay energizes the top and deck motor and pump assembly and
simultaneously opens the top solenoids. Hydraulic fluid under pressure supplied
by the counterclockwise rotation of the pump is directed through the lower top
solenoid and is applied to the piston in the top lift cylinders through the hoses
connected to the lower fittings of the cylinders. As the fluid pressure forces the
piston to travel upward in the cylinder it displaces the fluid on the other side of
the piston and returns this fluid through the hoses connected to the upper fittings
of the cylinders, bock through the upper top solenoid to the pump and reservoir.

The cycle con be stopped at any time by release of the control switch opening
the circuit to the top down relay. The open circuit stops the pump motor and auto
matically closes the top solenoids.

When the top is stowed in the luggage compartment, the top down limit switch
Is actuated and the switch contacts are repositioned. The current now flows
from the top control switch, through the top down limit switch, the deck closed
limit switch, and the deck close relay coil to ground. The relay contacts are
closed and the power circuit is complete from the 50-ompere circuit breaker to
the top and deck motor and the deck control solenoid volve.

The deck control solenoid Is energized and hydraulic lines are opened to the
the deck control cylinders. The top and deck motor is also energized and the
deck lid is closed. This action is interrupted when the deck lid depresses the
plunger on the deck closed limit switch.

At the same time the deck lid is closing, the deck lock motor is energized.
This is accomplished by the current flowing from the top down limit switch
through the deck lock relay coil to ground. This closes the relay contacts and
completes the power circuit to the deck lock motor. The deck lock motor Is
energized until the top control switch is released.

The relay is energized, closing the circuit to the deck lock motor. As the deck
lid reaches the closed position, the deck closed limit switch is depressed and
the deck close circuit is broken. The deck lock circuit will continue to be en
ergized, and the locks will ratchet until the top control switch is released.
